Numerical schemes, namely, upwind nonconservative, upwind conservative, Lax–Friedrichs, Lax–Wendroff, MacCormack and Godunov are applied and compared on traffic flow problems. The best scheme, namely, upwind conservative is used for wavelet-optimized method using Daubechies wavelet for numerically solving the same traffic flow problems. Numerical results corresponding to the traffic flow problem with the help of wavelet-optimized, adaptive grid, upwind conservative method have been given. Moreover, the run time carried out by the developed technique have been compared to that of run time carried out by finite difference technique. It is observed that, in terms of run time, the proposed method performs better.

A numerical method is successfully developed for solving general MHD duct flow problems, utilizing “machine transformation” and finite-difference technique with a new successive overrelaxation procedure. Examples are given to establish the method and to indicate the versatility of the associated computer program. The generality of the basic principle may help to solve many problems other than MHD flow in a general domain.

In this paper, a well-known finite difference technique is combined with thermal lattice Boltzmann method to solve 2-dimensional incompressible thermal fluid flow problems. A small number of microvelocity components are applied for the calculation of temperature field. The combination of finite difference with lattice Boltzmann method is found to be an efficient and stable approach for the simulation at high Rayleigh number of natural convection in a square cavity.

A mathematical model of amperometric biosensors has been developed to simulate the biosensor response in stirred as well as non stirred solution. The model involves three regions: the enzyme layer where enzyme reaction as well as mass transport by diffusion takes place, a diffusion limiting region where only the diffusion takes place, and a convective region, where the analyte concentration is maintained constant. Using computer simulation the influence of the thickness of the enzyme layer as well the diffusion one on the biosensor response was investigated. The computer simulation was carried out using the finite difference technique.

A model of moisture movement in wood is presented in this paper in a two-dimensional-in-space formulation. The finite-difference technique has been used in order to obtain the solution of the problem. The model was applied to predict the moisture content in sawn boards from pine during long term storage under outdoor climatic conditions. The satisfactory agreement between the numerical solution and experimental data was obtained.

Abstract In this paper we study the flow of granular materials between two horisontal flat plates where the top plate is moving with a constant speed. The constitutive relation used for the stress is based on the continuum model proposed by Rajagopal and Massoudi (1990), where the material parameters are derived using the kinetic theory model proposed by Boyle and Massoudi (1990). The governing equations are non-dimensionalized and the resulting system of non-linear differential equations is solved numerically using finite difference technique.
